It is an original oil painting on canvas portraying Iyeoka Okoawo, a Nigerian-American poet and soul singer known for her powerful voice and healing energy. This contemporary portrait explores rhythm, creativity, and emotional expression through vibrant color and movement.
This portrait captures the vibrant presence of Iyeoka Okoawo – a Nigerian-American poet and soul singer whose voice carries rhythm, honesty, and healing. Her words touch deeply, and her rhythm moves you to breathe, feel, and begin. There’s a pulse in her music that awakens what’s been buried under routine or doubt.
In painting her, I wanted to reflect that fire – not loud, but steady and grounding. Her face glows with color and intensity, while the brushstrokes echo movement, rhythm, and emotion.
Energize is more than a title; it’s a call to reconnect with your creative spirit and find beauty in expression, even if you think you can’t sing, paint, or dance. Energy is contagious, and Iyeoka’s is unforgettable.
